5 A Hero And The Sword (2/2)

Breaking the silence, Faust tells Gus what he knew - ”well I just heard about most of the martial arts names that involves fighting, but I never heard of any fights with a sword, what is a sword?” - Faust asks with curiosity.

”well, you know about the kitchen knives right? A sword is the same but have a longer blade and a grip to hold on to and its intended to thrust and slice whatever that comes in its way and this superhero I'm going to tell you about has immerse respect and love towards swords, but somehow the sword that he uses is a little curvy and has been crafted by the gods in heaven from what I heard.” Gus replies to Faust.

”So Faust, outside Mindoro there used to be one huge land and a giant country.” Gus tells Faust.

”Ehhhh I didn't know... A huge land? Without ocean surrounding it? ” Faust is surprised, for him Mindoro is the only land he knew. He didn't know something so vast existed outside Mindoro and he has never thought about it either until his grandpa mention it to him.

”Yes And the giant country broke and became two, both of the Nations suffered huge loss, the weapons and artillery became to be made once again, the taxes are increased way high to make weapons of war.”

*”War? People suffered? The people outside must be so bad”* Faust thinks to himself

”The earth itself at that time when two nations just formed has gone through many changes and the technologies of both nations accomplished new heights and during this, the people of both nations suddenly got their hands on infinite amount of resources.” Gus continues on with his story.

”Electricity, air, atmosphere and power to change the reality. Both the Nations have achieved these things within their grasp and as anticipated, both nations started a war for power struggle with the newly found resources and enhanced weapons. A new world war took place.”

”During this war a small band of 5 soldiers were washed away to the shore of a small village surrounded by mountains and hills, which no one knew existed before. However, even after being washed off to shore from the ocean, one of them seemed conscious. He was also badly injured, but for some reason he was still standing very strong and compelling.”

”The soldier looked like he's between 18-20 with long hair tied backwards. He was holding the four soldiers who washed to shore with him tightly, one in each of his hands, one in between his legs and the last one he bite the vest that the soldier was wearing and was carrying him using his teeth and neck muscles.”

”His hands were tightly holding onto the bullet proof vests that the soldiers were wearing. His grip on the vests from both of his hands were so tight as if his hands were tightly locked to the vests as he was holding them. The vests were even shredded and ripped at the spot he was holding them, that is how powerful his grip seemed. It's almost like he could crush rock Boulders with his bare hands.”

”The weight he carried with his body would be around 400 - 500 kg as the soldiers were well built. The solider that was being carried by his teeth would weight around 80kgs, and he held them tight in this harsh ocean and whirlpools and got here?” The villagers standing before him are watching in disbelief.

Gus continues on with the story.

Back in 5015

The man carrying them is very much determined to save the lives of his friends, he carried them and drag them to safety onto the shore. Then he filled his lungs full of air and shouted -”please save my friends” with a very loud and clear voice that resonated the whole village.

He was standing tall as a proud warrior who prefers death over dishonor, and as the people are approaching him, they can see  every fiber in his muscle is twitching and soaring as if they're crying. He seems to be feeling a sharp pain in his bones as if someone is carving his bones while he is alive. Yet he still stands tall as his body is letting out hot steam made visible as the rays of a setting sun hit his body and his blue eyes were black as if he was knocked unconscious long ago and as though his body is just moving on his sheer will. He really seemed like a true warrior who never gives up no matter what and keeps fighting the oceans, enemies and even gods until he changes his fate himself.

This was the first time something hit Gus hard on his lazy and unmotivated life. He realized that humans with inhuman capability exist and that is the power of ones sheer will.

The body of the warrior who seemed stronger than anyone in the village has ever seen suddenly started to fall as though the body is assured that the 4 soldiers are safe and the task given to the body is completed and fell onto the ground as if the life stopped inside the body completely.  15 year old Gus know something was wrong so he rushed toward the soldiers and caught the falling body. As soon as he held the soldier in his hands, the hairs on Gus body stood up as if he witnessed something incredible.

*Is this the pride of a warrior?* Gus thought to himself.
